How should the writer punctuate the underlined nonrestrictive clause in order to emphasize it?.
mafiozo [28]

After reading the original sentence, we can select the following option when it comes to how the writer should punctuate the nonrestrictive clause to emphasize it:

D) My brother—who is a superb actor—will audition tomorrow for a film role.

<h3>What is a nonrestrictive clause?</h3>
  • A nonrestrictive clause is a type of relative clause that provides nonessential information about a noun in a sentence. Being a relative clause, it begins with a relative pronoun (who, which, etc.).
  • Nonrestrictive clauses should always be set off by commas. For example: Jane, <u>who is our best employee,</u> has finally decided to have a baby.
  • However, if a writer wishes to give the nonrestrictive clause some more emphasis, the best way to do it is by using dashes. For example: Jane - <u>who is our best employee</u> - has finally decided to have a baby.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option.

The complete question is as follows:

My brother who is a superb actor will audition tomorrow for a film role.

How should the writer punctuate the underlined nonrestrictive clause in order to emphasize it?

A) My brother: who is a superb actor will audition tomorrow for a film role.

B) My brother; who is a superb actor; will audition tomorrow for a film role.

C) My brother who is a superb actor, will audition tomorrow for a film role.

D) My brother—who is a superb actor—will audition tomorrow for a film role.

1. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into an abyss of injustic
kow [346]

Answer:

Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is elucidated as the literary device that includes a comparison of two distinct and literally inapplicable ideas to invoke an implied similarity between them that assists in explaining or clarifying the idea.

In the given example, the use of 'cup' to describe 'endurance', 'abyss' to 'injustice', 'bleakness and corroding' to depict the 'despair' exemplify the unrelated, literally inapplicable, and implied comparison to reveal the similarities between them that helps the author to clarify the idea more effectively. Thus, <u>'metaphor'</u> is the correct answer.
